The Grafton is rated by Peterson as one of their Higher Grades along with the Royal Irish and the Rosslare Royal Irish. I would also place it along with that other higher grade rarity the Celtic series. My first impression of them is that the briar quality is superb, with gorgeous graining. And Peterson mouthpiece, which give the smoker a cool, dry, and comfortable smoking experience. Designed to accommodate two pipes, a tamper, and lighter as well as 1 to 2 ounces of your customer's favorite blend, this is a phenomenal pipe bag from the folks at Peterson. A two-pipe bag, in soft, deep, dark and subtle green leather, with a snap-in tobacco pouch, tamper pocket, and external accessories pocket featuring magnetic buttons. This was only for pipes issued and sold from Shannon airport and was not the same as the present day Shannon series. With a rustic finish, this slender bent Dublin Churchwarden style pipe is going to give you one of the coolest and most stylish experiences you could ask for in such an affordable tobacco pipe. As the oldest continuously operating briar pipe factory in the world, we at Peterson have a certain tradition to uphold, a legacy of craftsmanship dating back over 150 years. Soon, Charles Peterson walked into their shop with a new pipe design that would quickly become one of the most popular in the world. We offer worldwide shipping, but do not ship pipe tobacco to MN. Upon the smoker drawing in smoke, this extension then directs the smoke down and around the sump to dispense a lot of the moisture before the smoke enters the extension and stem. On the System Standards and other less expensive systems, this extension with be made of Vulcanite turned integrally with the stem. On the more expensive System pipes this extension will be made of metal which screws into the Vulcanite stem. This extension on the earlier pipes will be of brass and the newer pipes will be of aluminium. Featuring a red & black deep rustication that offers a distinguished look and incredibly tactile feel, and a fiery reddish-orange swirled translucent acrylic stem, these pipes are reminiscent of their namesake. These beautiful pipes are dressed with a brass/aluminum/brass triple ring, and accept all standard 9mm charcoal filters that I carry. Available in 6 of Peterson’s most iconic and classic shapes, there is a Phoenix pipe for nearly everyone’s taste. Featuring a small reservoir intended to collect moisture before it reaches the smoker, the 'System Pipe' is designed to create a drier and cooler smoke and discourage the formation of dottle. The System Pipe is still a consistent top seller for Peterson. The famous P lip stem incorporated into the system pipes mouthpiece directs the smoke flow through a small hole at the top of the stem to the roof of the mouth. I have rarely seen this series of pipes for sale previously, it has been a complete mystery as to the quality of briar, finish and smoking qualities. The modern Captain Pete line available from Cup O'Joe's is an exclusive issue by Peterson for the US retailer. All similar to the first issue, with XL bowl sizes and similar sterling silver bands with the SH stamp. During the 1970’s Peterson had a large display of pipes in the Shannon Airport Duty Free Shop for passengers. These were on display in a floor cabinet measuring approximately 6’ x 3’.

They also stamped some mid range pipes with the mark 'SHANNON'.
